You may have noticed things look a little different around here - we've switched to a new platform (XenForo) and have some new forum styles and features. This how-to guide will help you find your way around.

Gotta admit, I'm confused as ngff seems kinda new. If I wanted to yank the 8/24gb caching ssd, what do I buy now?

The 8/24gb caching SSD reference confuses me a bit. Someone posted the Fry's ad and it referenced an 8GB SSHD so I'm curious if maybe Fry's didn't request that config when they made their deal with Lenovo which I know retailers sometimes do. Some said it was a misprint but Fry's don't do that too often AFAIK and it kinda makes sense to me so...thoughts?

They are all that new form factor 24GB SSD cards. The 8GB is an outdated reference to Lenovo's initial intent to include the new Seagate hybrid 1TB drive that comes with 8GB SSD onboard but they did not use that drive. If you buy your own SSD like I did, you can replace the slow 1TB Samsung 5400rpm drive with a new speedy SSD and delete the mystery volume on the onboard 24GB SSD and have an extra 24GB E: drive for your own use. (D: has all the drivers and system restore stuff - cloned perfectly by Acronis 2013 before I ever powered the system up).
